| Description: |
Part of a series which treats polity-economy dialectics at global, regional and national levels and examines novel contradictions and coalitions between and within each. This book looks at small farmers, and topics covered include expanding the agricultural frontier in Peru. |
| Synopsis: |
This book deals with an agricultural production and marketing system known as contract farming (CF). In this system, a public or private agency purchases the crops of independent farmers through contracts, often providing inputs, technical assistance and marketing. CF has a long history in developed countries and has spread to the Third World. The book uses case studies from North America, Latin America and Africa to assess the experience to date and provide guidelines for the use of CF in the future. |
